Power train:driveline:driveshaft
Problem: Vehicle description: electric light duty pickup trucks. If the transaxle attaching bolts begin to loosen, the driver could notice a jerking motion and/or a clunking sound. If not serviced promptly, all nine bolts could ultimately fall out or fracture and the transaxle could drop. If the transaxle drops, the vehicle may no longer be in the gear indicated.
Risk: If this occurs, the shift lever could be put into "park" and the vehicle would still be free to roll as if in "neutral," increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the mounting bolts with longer bolts that include a thread lock material. When installed, the new bolts will be tightened to a higher torque. Owner notification began may 8, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
